Bonus Benefit — Supporting Small Businesses:

In 1990 we discovered that small family wineries are the most passionate in the wine world and their wines are the hidden gems of wine country.

These small wineries handcraft extraordinary wine, but in quantities too limited to be distributed outside their local area. Since wine store and grocery store shelves are dominated by large corporate producers, the artisan wineries we feature are grateful that we provide a personal way to connect their wine to wine lovers everywhere. The California Wine Club is a win for them, and a win for our members.

When you support our small family business, you support hundreds of others. Thank you for joining us on the adventure!

Be sure to browse our online Winery Library to learn more about the wineries we have featured over the years.

 

More about our Love It Guarantee:

How can we make a promise to replace or refund any wine a member is not happy with?

Because we can’t afford not to.

For more than three decades The California Wine Club has delighted wine enthusiasts with handcrafted wines from thousands of small family wineries. We couldn’t possibly support this many wineries, for this many years, unless every member knew that if they’re not happy, they’re not stuck.

We love exploring wine country, discovering new wineries, meeting the families, the winemakers and then selecting wines to share with our members. We taste a lot of wines to find just the right ones. Hundreds of wines are rejected each year because we have one goal: ensure the wines we send are the ones our members will love.

 

More about VIP Winery Tours:

The artisan wineries we feature are grateful for your support, and love to host our members for complimentary tours and tastings!

Just let us know when you're planning a trip, and we'll take care of the details for you. 

Our online Winery Library is another incredible resource for wineries to visit, including a guide to winery features like "dog friendly" and "food options."

Call us at 1-800-777-4443 to arrange a VIP Winery Tour and Tasting.

 

More about Wine Storage:

If you will be traveling, please don't forget about your wines. We have two options to make sure you don't miss a sip:

Enjoy them wherever you go: We can ship your wines to your vacation spot.

Enjoy them when you return: We offer temperature-controlled wine storage at no cost to you. Simply put your shipments on hiatus.

Call your Personal Wine Consultant for help with either option. 1-800-777-4443.

Tip: If you will be vacationing with family and friends, ship a case of your favorite wines to your destination to share. Members always get $1 shipping to most states on six- and 12-bottle purchases from the Wine Store.

 

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are wine subscriptions worth it?

The right wine club can transport you to wine country, elevate your wine knowledge, and introduce you to little-known wineries and winemaking families. A wine from the right wine club will stop you in your tracks, raise the hair on your neck, and quite possibly bring you to (happy) tears. Wines like that are art and the kind of wine that can only be crafted by artisan winemakers.

The "wall of wine" is a common description used to describe shopping for wine at a traditional store. The choices are endless, the labels enticing, and the tastes familiar. That’s because more than 80% of all wine sold in the US comes from three major producers. Regardless of the label, it’s all coming from the same winemaking team.

A wine club offers a convenient way to enjoy wine, without the pressure of selecting from a sea of labels at your local store.

If you're looking for an adventure, new wines, new flavors, and a wine experience that can elevate a Tuesday night pour, then yes, the right wine club is most certainly worth it.

Since 1990, thousands of members have told us that The California Wine Club is the right wine club, and most certainly worth it. #MostLovedWineClub

 

Why join a wine club?

Selecting a great bottle of wine from thousands of pretty labels with a variety of price ranges in traditional wine stores is a difficult task even for the most passionate of wine enthusiasts. With a wine shop or grocery store, you never really know what you're going to get. A wine club offers a convenient way to try new wines. With The California Wine Club, you help support small artisan producers, and are ensured that the wine has been tasted and "vetted" for you. We are like friends recommending great wine to other friends! Plus, with our Love It Guarantee you are assured "never to get burned." Most of the bottles found on wine store shelves come from one of three major corporate wine producers and when you get a bad bottle, or one you don’t like, you can't return it to the store.

 

What makes The California Wine Club different from other wine clubs?

We personally visit the wineries we feature, meet the families, the winemakers and then select two bottles they are most proud to share with our members. You can be assured that every wine comes from a small, real, working winery. We do not make the wines we feature, nor do create pretty labels and pass the wine off as someone else's. Our credo? We only feature wines in our wine club that we would serve in our home to family and friends.
